Abstract
Reaction of equimolar quantities of gallium(lll) bromide and 1,4,7-trimethy l-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me-3[9]aneN(3)) in acetonitrile gives the neutra l adduct [GaBr3(Me-3[9]aneN(3))]. A crystal structure determination (X-ray diffraction) confirms a half-sandwich topology in which the six cc-ordinate metal centre adopts the expected fac-octahedral geometry, following eta(3) N-donor co-ordination of the azamacrocycle.
